Kirigakure (霧隠れの里, Kirigakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Mist"), called Kiri for short, is located in the Land of Water. The official head ninja of Kirigakure is the Mizukage. It is also the place from which the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist hail. Kiri's layout is relatively unknown, only seen briefly in flashbacks. Kakashi and Orochimaru have both stated that Kiri has a strong and ruthless military that could not be easily defeated.

Kiri, according to Kakashi, was known for a barbaric graduation ritual. Students wishing to move on into the ranks of the ninja there would be pitted against each other in one-on-one duels to the death - thus earning the village the nickname, "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato). This practice lasted until an incident where Zabuza Momochi infamously killed the entire graduating class (before even reaching the age of qualification himself), after which it was banned.
